Well you don't have a carb, you have a throttle body and injectors.
But the answer is no you should not have any fire there.
Could be some plug wires mixed up, or the intake valves are not closing.
You can check the firing order for the plug wires and run a compression test to check the valves.

Do a compression test when the engine is cold. You may have a leaky valve or a lifter holding the valve slightly open when cold.

Wont start or stay on

From the info you provided, it seems like it is not getting constant supply of fuel. I think that don't have a carburator. It has a TBI(Throttle Body Injector. You should hear a faint humming noise at the back coming from within the fuel tank when you turn the key on. Thats the fuel pump. Your fuel pump may have gone out.
